Hi, can anyone tell me where I can purchase an ignition switch with keys, for petrol engine?
Thanks Tony

Practically any decent car spares shop BUT they vary a bit so you will have to ensure you get one suitable for your needs.

eg Furneaux Riddall http://www.furneauxriddall.com/shop/index.html Choice of 7 there i think plus water proof covers etc

What sort of engine is the switch for?

A car type switch would be suitable for most inboard engines although most of them now incorporate a steering lock and may be difficult to fit in a boat dashboard. However, if your engine is a 2-stroke outboard with magneto igniton then you need a switch that closes its contacts when switched OFF. This is the opposite to a normal ignition switch as it is used to short out the magneto to stop the engine.

If it's a normal ignition switch, there are a few here :
